snapdragon s4

Call it the S4, Snapdragon, or Krait -- it makes no difference. The latest and greatest from Qualcomm is a proven performer and in high demand because of it. Today they have announced the expansion of the S4 line with a pair of new quad-core Snapdragons destined for mainland China.
With built-in support for various dual SIM network designs, this will give Qualcomm a leg up when manufacturers are...

Qualcomm's developer tablet certainly packs a punch in the specs department. But, before we go any further, we need to point out clearly and concisely -- this isn't a commercial product, it isn't meant for consumers. That doesn't mean it doesn't interest us though. Far from it.
The APQ8064-based Snapdragon S4 Pro Mobile Development Platform / Tablet as it's full title reads -- we'll call it the...

The folks at BriefMobile got hold of some info about an upcoming LG LS970 for Sprint, and it has some impressive specs -- namely the quad-core Krait S4 and 2GB of RAM. All the info they have certainly looks legit, and it's very likely we'll see this one sometime in Q4. But while everyone is in awe of those impressive innards (including most of us here at AC) we have to remember that these are...

With all the talk of quad-core vs dual-core, and seeing the performance of both in the same phone, we want to know. Do you want a dual-core or quad-core chip in your next device? Last year around this time we were starting to see dual-core phones emerge from manufacturers. They all promised the best performance in a mobile device you've ever seen. And they were right. The Tegra 2, and later...

My dual-core S4 is as good as your quad-core. No really, it is. Qualcomm recently (OK, maybe not that recently) announced the S4 Snapdragon with Krait CPU. More recently Samsung announced the Exynos 4 Quad (confirmed to power the "next Galaxy"), and we've already seen what the Tegra 3 from NVIDIA can do. Why, then, is the S4 as good as these quad-cores? Put simply, you get all the...

Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 chip will be powering some of the most anticipated Android devices of the next few months, including the HTC One S and AT&T's HTC One X, not to mention the ASUS Padfone and rumored devices from Sony. But in its recent Q2 earnings call, the chipmaker admitted that supply of the S4 chips may be unable to meet demand until the end of the year, meaning that device...

We've all seen the HTC One X with the Tegra 3 processor inside, and we've seen the AT&T version with the Snapdragon S4 inside. What about the One XL? We heard HTC talk about it a little bit, but what exactly is it? The easy answer is that it's the AT&T One X without the AT&T branding. HTC has two different version of the unlocked One X then, one with the Tegra 3 and one with the...

The AT&T version of the HTC One X has been hitting the benchmark apps the past couple of days, and a friend of a friend of a friend was kind enough to send in a few results. On Sunday we saw a few benchmark results from our forums appear, and with one of them, the Vellamo browser benchmark, being built by Qualcomm there was some speculation that it would naturally score higher. We have to...

Thanks to forum member ​Phonegeek ​we're getting a pretty decent idea of what the AT&T One X with the Snapdragon S4 is capable of. he usual caveats apply, though, this is early hardware and software that is close to final, but not exactly final. With that out of the way we can see that Qualcomm has something good on their hands with the S4 Krait processor. The One X handily outperforms the...

It's not often we get excited about benchmark numbers, but we'll make an exception today. Early benchmarks of the first chips based upon Qualcomm's new Snapdragon S4 ("Krait") architecture have appeared, showing dramatic improvements from earlier Snapdragon chips. The tests run by AnandTech on Qualcomm's S4 Mobile Development Platform (powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core MSM8960 chip), show single and...

Qualcomm has released the whitepaper for their upcoming S4 SoC (system on a chip), and it's features look great. The new 28nm process technology promises "inherent advantages in frequency scaling, power consumption and size reduction", and the Krait CPU and Adreno 225 GPU should offer some serious performance, clocked between 1.5Ghz and 2.5Ghz, with a 50 percent graphics boost over the current...
